Help residents of nursing homes and assisted living
facilities advocate for their rights, resolve conflicts and improve
their quality of life. The Northern Virginia
Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program needs volunteers who can commit a
minimum of four hours a week for one year. Volunteers set their own
schedules with visits usually occurring between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on
weekdays. Volunteers receive training and continuing support.

Apply now to attend the three-day initial training on September 13, 14
and 23. Call 703-324-5861 or 703-324-5422; TTY 703-449-1186 or e-mail lisa.callahan@fairfaxcounty.gov.

Find out why so many of our volunteers say, “I receive so much more
than I give!”
